Transfer discussion thread

I don't think any of that will matter, the Haaland family clearly have a very good relationship with Ole.

Interesting that we've never done business with Raiola before so if we dont want a repeat of the Lukaku stuff up Roman needs to suck it up and just give in to his demands this time.

Cmon man, you spend more than 95% of teams in Europe.

What do you mean by Europe? 95% of clubs in Europe spend next to nothing. Only the top 6 of all the major leagues plus PSG spend significant money.


Here's the figures over the last 5 years in the PL

Premier League - Transfer balance and five-year comparison

In dieser Statistik werden die Transferbilanzen der letzten fünf bzw. zehn Jahre der Vereine der Premier League miteinander verglichen.

We're way down the list in transfer spending over the last 5 years. The only big window we had was where we bought the 2 players you quoted and that was just 6 months after selling Coutinho for 142m.

Poor little old Liverpool with only the third biggest wages in the league.

Unintentionally embarrassing for United. Thank you.

Depends on the date of that, we have got rid of some high wages in the last 12 months.

Liverpool had the 5th highest revenue in the world last season according to Deloitte



(As an aside, whoever designed that graphic should be fired given how poor the readability is)

 

[drd23]

And its not like Liverpool were poor prior to last season (when revenue for leagues outside of the EPL dropped more comparatively), they were still in the top 9 in each of the previous 4 seasons

 

[chef]

What, no way.

Where is the money going?

We can barely breakeven in wages with the other big clubs, and we are hundreds of millions (100-450mil) below in net spend (MEME ACTIVATED!) compared to them in the last half dozen years.

All despite winning the CL and PL recently and having heaps of revenue.

Your owners have a loss-making American franchise.

Red Sox?

Yes. I can't imagine they've turned a profit in the last year.

IT WAS A ****ING PENALTY!

Can't see him going to Man Utd.

Not only did Keane destroy his dad's career, Alfie is best known as a Leeds player and also had a stint at City.

Biggest myth in football, this one. Haaland Sr started a game for his country just a couple of days after the Keane incident and retired years later. It was a dog act but it didn't end his career.

Ole already has a great relationship with Erling Haaland. When it comes time to make a decision that will be more important than factoring in who his old man played for.

I do agree that City makes the most sense though. I just disagree that his father's playing history will influence things.

Scary for Palace. A lot of £££ for a team that can easily be in relegation scraps.

I call BS. No way our wages are higher than Liverpool.

Rehab for injuries I assume and Klopp teeth whitening. Maybe the CEO has a personal sauna like that fool from Sunderland.

The only reported figure is total wage bill in the annual accounts.

Liverpools was £310m in 18/19, Spurs £179m.

I reckon it'll be close. That would include Ozil, Auba's pay increase and then stupid contracts for guys like Kolasinac and Mustafi.

Will be a huge drop next time it's tallied though.
